'Woofstock' a howling success

TENAFLY — Robyn Urman has looked into the eyes of Sandy’s four-legged victims. The dogs and cats displaced by the superstorm stare back in fright, hurt and confusion.

But on Sunday Urman, the founder of ResQ Inc., saw hope, too. At an eight-hour event called “Woofstock,” 2,000 animal owners and their pets converged on the borough’s municipal circle on Tenafly Road with one goal: finding homes for Sandy’s forgotten victims.

“It was a big success of the heart,” Urman said. The animal owners who brought their own pets — about 500 dogs — had a good time paw painting, having sketches made of their pets, and dressing up their pets.

But Urman said they never lost focus on why they were there. The owners donated 15 to 20 truckloads of supplies for local Sandy victims.
